    Rob's Aquatics

    Just wanted to share my new grape watermelon chalice that I picked up from trackfast today. It really pops in my tank, although my crappy cell phone pic does not do it justice. Thanks, Victor!!!

    Fragging

    Was at Dollar Tree this morning and came across this gem. Individual sized fragging tubes, five for you guessed it, $1.00. My caps always seem to permanently bond to the tube after I use them once, so I thought these were pretty cool. Just wanted to share. And yes, it is cyanoacrylate. Jim

    Day 1 of the Biocube's new life.

    Very happy, tank is finally cycled, lights are working properly, water parameters are good. Corals are in and immediately started opening up. On my way to Superfish to pick up some clowns. A good day, indeed. Sorry for the ultra purple, crappy cell phone pic.

    Homemade new acrylic cover for Oceanic Biocube 29.

    Well, in case you were not aware, you CANNOT get replacement light covers for any Oceanic Biocube, since they re-branded them Coralife they no longer make them and the Coralife's covers do not fit Oceanics. That put me in a little bit of a quandary, because the cover I have looks like it was in...

    Anyone know anyplace in the Southern suburbs, besides AA, where I can get nassarius snails? Aquarium Adventure wants $3.99 each, they must be smoking cyano to come up with that price. :analprobe: Thanks.

    Lighting a Biocube

    I have been out of the reef game for the past two years, but as most of you know, it is truly a sickness, and I can't wait to dive back in. :woohoo: For a couple of years, I had a 75 gallon LPS dominated tank with T5 lighting up and running. I sold the tank and just about everything else tank...
